State tax already paid showing double the amount actually paid (or double the mentioned amount on w-2)

The state income tax withheld should be reported when you enter your W-2 on your federal return. Don't enter that amount anywhere else on the return. 

TurboTax will carry over the information to your state return.

 

To check your entries:

  • Login to your account.
  • Select Federal from the left menu.
  • Select Wages and Income then Income and Expenses.
  • Select Edit next to Job(W-2)
  • Select Edit next to the W-2 and check the entry in box 17.
